The nature of the normal phase of strongly correlated fermionic systems is an outstanding question in quantum many-body physics. We used spatially resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy to measure pairing energy of fermions across a wide range of temperatures and interaction strengths in a two-dimensional gas of ultracold fermionic atoms. We observed many-body pairing at temperatures far above the critical temperature for superfluidity. In the strongly interacting regime, the pairing energy in the normal phase considerably exceeds the intrinsic two-body binding energy of the system and shows a clear dependence on local density. This implies that pairing in this regime is driven by many-body correlations, rather than two-body physics. Our findings show that pairing correlations in strongly interacting two-dimensional fermionic systems are remarkably robust against thermal fluctuations.

Exciton emitters in two-dimensional monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a boulevard for the emerging optoelectronic field, ranging from miniaturized light-emitting diodes to quantum emitters and optical communications. However, the low quantum efficiency from limited light-matter interactions and harmful substrate effects seriously hinders their applications. In this work, we achieve a ∼438-fold exciton photoluminescence enhancement by constructing a Fabry-Pérot cavity consisting of monolayer WS and a micron-scale hole on the SiO/Si substrate.

Despite being studied for almost two centuries, aromaticity has always been a controversial concept. We previously proposed a unified aromatic rule for π-conjugated systems by two-dimensional (2D) superatomic-molecule theory, where benzenoid rings are treated as period 2 2D superatoms (3π-N, 4π-O, 5π-F, 6π-Ne) and, further, bond to form 2D superatomic molecules. Herein, to build a 2D periodic table, we further extend the theory to period 3 (7π-P, 8π-S, 9π-Cl, 10π-Ar) and period 1 (1π-H, 2π-He) elements.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) can be combined with organic semiconductors to form hybrid van der Waals heterostructures. Specially, non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) stand out due to their excellent absorption and exciton diffusion properties. Here, we couple monolayer tungsten diselenide (ML-WSe) with two well performing NFAs, ITIC, and IT-4F (fluorinated ITIC) to achieve hybrid architectures.

Enhancing the accuracy of emotion recognition models through multimodal learning is a common approach. However, challenges such as insufficient modal feature learning in multimodal inference and scarcity of sample data continue to pose obstacles that need to be overcome. Therefore, we propose a novel adaptive lightweight multimodal efficient feature inference network (ALME-FIN).

Aims: The study was designed to investigate the characteristics of atrial ventricular coupling and left atrial (LA) function impairment in patients with Fabry disease (FD), especially those in the early stages of the condition.

Methods: A total of 65 patients with Fabry disease who completed echocardiographic examinations from January 2018 to May 2024 were ultimately included. Among them, 25 patients with FD did not have left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH).
